Bristol Watch Meet Soon

[jason.humphrey.180]

What an excellent way to spend an evening. A bunch of friendly, interesting guys geeking out about watches - really nice atmosphere & some beautiful pieces to look at.

Thanks to the organisers & looking forward to the next one already.

Really pleased you enjoyed the experience...pics coming on this thread soon

My first watch meet. Really enjoyed it. Funnily enough the watches that most people were interested in from my small collection were the ugly mugs so to speak.. The Monaco, the Citizen Bullhead on a bund, and the Gold Super Seville date adjust copy… Thankyou to those who organised it , I will definitely attend the next one

I remember your very eclectic collection. I'm sure that citizen must have a nickname by now...is it the Brad Pitt? Or the 'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood' ?

We had Fears watches and Garrick watches guesting. Dave, co-founder of Garrick also brought his personal grand complication - Peter Roberts watch

Anyone who fancies following @redbarbristol on Instagram will see more pics and chat with some of the other guys who aren't on TZUK.
The Skull watch btw.. has a Swiss movement and a watchmaker made module to change the minutes and hours from central pinions to minutes on the left eye and hours on the right. The 'jaw' acts as a fully articulated bottom lug. Tritium tubes lume on the eyes. The middle 'tooth' in the jaw is the crown. Made by Bristol based Russian watchmaker The Horological Underground in broadmead.

This one

Nicholas Bowman-Scargill owner of Fears watches. Have you met him? Possibly the most charming and generous (with his time) chap who could ever meet.

Ah, that would explain it, British watch brand coupled with British luggage brand. That said it looks a little different to the Globetrotter ones available.

No, Ive not had the pleasure Jason.

That watch goes under the title of #£%+@ disgusting watch in my household. It’s the only watch that my better half and my daughter told me to sell at the event if I could. I think it’s cool.

And another RedbarBristol watch meet is in the diary. A bit shorter notice, sorry. Some asked for a weekday, so we have 14th October. If you're signed up for the e-mails, please check your inboxes and click the RSVP if you can make it. Some (including myself) will be coming straight from work so a quick pre-meet burger at the venue is on the cards.

Here's the link if you're new bit.ly/35SMq87 and if you're just signing up now send me a DM so I can give you the venue details.

Cool. I've RSVP'd, just need to see where I'm working that week.

Cheers.

No worries....we had some who've not been able to do weekends, so we thought we'd try a mid-week one. Next time Bazza.
